Windows on Water, Stream, Hot Tub, Big Trees, Walk to Sundance

There are few resort experiences as unique as Sundance and few places that you can spend a few days that are as idyllic as this setting at Sundance. The branches of old growth firs brush the cabin’s windows. A year-round stream runs along the walls providing ambiance and natural air conditioning. It gurgles under an eating/barbecuing deck leading to an 8 person hot-tub, tucked back in the pines. Two bedrooms have private decks overlooking the stream. The cabin is airy inside with walls of windows; you feel like you’re living in the trees. The whole house has radiant heating so even on the snowiest days you can be barefoot in the forest. Curl up in front of the fireplace and watch TV or listen to music on a state-of-the-art theater sound system. Cook a meal in a gourmet kitchen when you’re not in the mood to make the short walk through the woods to the great restaurants at Sundance.
2018 News. The cabin next to us was tragically destroyed by fire recently. They have begun constructing a beautiful replacement. This home is about 100 feet away from us. They're moving pretty fast on it so far - if they keep up their current pace they'll be working inside pretty soon. We want to make sure any travelers are fully aware. Sundance is a pretty quiet place with the stream running through often masking most noise from even the closest neighbors but while the house is under construction there will be a few more cars on our quiet road. We'll update this section as there is anything important to know.
We live and work nearby and will do anything we can to help you enjoy your stay
The Unique Benefits of this House: Live music nights at Sundance's Owl Bar when the fire is blazing in the back room. Sunday Brunch at the Foundry Grill - particularly on patio days when the weather is fine. Sunrise bike rides on the mountain when you're likely to catch a moose or deer at every turn. Sunset hikes back from Stewart Falls - two miles away through a high mountain meadow. Summer movie nights at the outdoor theater. Heavy snowfall days when our road is impassable for a couple hours and the hot tub is cranking. Snowshoeing on full-moon nights when the Nordic center opens the trails at night.
Why the Owner Chose Sundance: Our family bought this home to be our home. We lived here for a magnificent decade. But when our family outgrew the house we reluctantly moved nearby and hope that vacationers will enjoy the house as much as we have.

Wonderful Winter Escape

We thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay at Windows on The Water! David & Judy kindly accommodated an early check-in, allowing us to get geared up for night skiiing at the resort. We arrived to Shoveled snow and heated walk ways up to the house. The home was immaculately clean & exactly as pictured. The kitchen was fully stocked and we had all we needed to grill and celebrate a birthday with friends. The hot tub was clean & perfect for relaxing after a full day of skiing! As VRBO owners ourselves, we loved the detailed notebook which was extremely helpful in giving us directions and instructions for almost anything you could think of in the home (we will definitely be making a book like this for our rental)! The master bed was extremely comfortable, and the linens soft. We also really enjoyed having the robes for getting in and out of the hot tub. We loved meeting Maxwell, a young neighbor who was very friendly :) 5 stars all around!!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home & allowing us to make lifelong memories with the best of friends.

Windows on Water is a hit!

If you want calm, relaxation without worry, this is the place for you. We enjoyed every moment of our stay. Thanks to David and his attention to detail our small group had 4 days of vacation bliss. The fireplace and radiant floors were amazing and just added to the homes overall appeal. Even with the small floor plan, we made day to day activities work. No need to pack much. This house is fully stocked! Most of our meals were cooked in the kitchen which had every utensil you’d want. We went to Harman’s in Provo to get groceries (closest) and also Whole Foods in Heber City on our way in from SLC airport. By the way, I recommend driving through Heber City to get to Sundance. It’s more scenic and you can stop by Park City since it is close by. I would advise future guests to use the washer and dryer to a minimum. It was tricky to get the dryer to work properly which prolonged each load. It’s not your typical front loader. Also, the cottage next to this house is practically attached. Luckily, it was vacant during our stay so we virtually saw no one. However, during high season, you may want to be aware that privacy could be an issue if both homes are occupied. Thanks for sharing your home. We’d love to do it all over again!

Perfect Getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay at Windows on Water! Our family of three came here the week before Christmas and it was the perfect getaway. The house is an architectural gem and very well equipped. The beds were extremely comfortable and our teen-age daughter was delighted with her loft bedroom--she described it as her "idyllic nest". Whenever we had questions for David he returned our calls promptly and even went out of his way to stop by the house to answer questions and address minor issues. The charming resort of Sundance is a short drive or walk away. Our only recommendation to future guests is to stop at a grocery store in Orem or Provo before driving to the house as there are no grocery facilities within a 20 minute radius. Thank you David for sharing your beautiful home with us! We hope to return one day soon.

The home is lovely.

The house is very well stocked with goodies that travelers appreciate, however the interior layout is not suitable for more than one couple or a couple with children. This is because there really is only one true bedroom. The other two are platfroms above the living room and have no closets and no dressers...therefore nowhere to hang clothes or even stow them away in the sleeping spaces. If you want to put clothes away, one has to use the master bedroom (which is very lovely) and traipse through that bedroom. Anyone sleeping in the platform beds is also at mercy of the other noise from the living/kitchen areas.

The surrounding area of Sundance is very lovely and fun to wander around. The house itself is in a very small river gorge and although it is nice to hear the stream, it gets very little sun due to the high narrrow valley walls. (Also, as a side note, one must have a PHD in electronics to run the washer/dryer and LOTS OF PATIENCE!)

Absolutely enchanting

WOWZA! The architecture in incredible and truly designed for this lot in Sundance. The water welcomed us and it was easy to stay connected to the outdoors even inside with all the windows. We saw mule deer, lots of smaller birds and a large group of wild turkeys almost daily. We have never stayed in a place as much as we did here, but it was so serene that we didn't want to leave. We cooked most of our meals in the well-equipped kitchen and/or out on the grill and definitely enjoyed the hot tub.

David was wonderful to deal with and provides his guests with a very comprehensive house guide. Not sure about you, but I try not to contact the host if at all possible. We were fortunate to meet David and got to hear all about the design and history of this incredible house.

Some of our favorite features: radiant floor heating, having robes provided, a very comfortable bed, luxury sheets and fluffy towels and the WATER!

Why David chose Sundance

Our family bought this home to be our home because at Sundance it is entirely possible to have an incredibly unique lifestyle experience - to be able to live in a quiet alpine resort (typically an oxymoron) and still have a vibrant professional job market within 15 minutes drive (Provo/Orem).

We lived here for a magnificent decade. But when our family outgrew the house we reluctantly moved nearby and hope that vacationers will enjoy the house as much as we have.

The cabin is open and airy inside with walls of windows; you feel like you’re living in the trees. The whole house has radiant floor heating so even on the snowiest days you can be barefoot in the forest. Curl up in front of the gas fireplace and watch TV or listen to music on a state-of-the-art surround sound system. Cook a meal in a gourmet kitchen when you’re not in the mood to make the short walk through the woods to the great restaurants and bar at Sundance.
